The US men’s hockey team is on to the knockout stage of the 2022 Olympics.
The Americans dispatched Germany, 3-2, on Sunday night in Beijing, capping off an undefeated group stage to move into the quarterfinals as they look for their first Olympic medal since 2010. They’ll be the top seed in the knockout rounds.The Germans took the lead just two minutes into the game on Patrick Hager’s power play goal, but it didn’t last.
Matthew Knies put Team USA up 2-1 at 4:50 in the second period, scoring off Nicolas Abruzesse’s wraparound pass to the crease. Germany challenged for goaltender interference, but the goal stood after review. Though the score remained close, the Americans generally controlled play, outshooting Germany 30-18 and waiting for their chance to extend the lead.That chance finally came early in the third period, just after a power play expired for the US. A loose puck bounced into the slot, where Nathan Smith fired it in on the backhand.
Germany managed a late push, with Tom Kuhnackel cleaning up a loose puck with 2:29 to go in the game. That set the stage for a frantic six-on-five, but the Americans held strong in their own zone. An undefeated group stage, which included a 4-2 win over Canada, is a statement for Team USA. In 2018, which also didn’t feature NHL players, the Americans finished a lowly seventh in a forgettable effort.
